1876 $1 Sailor Head Dollar, Judd-1463, Pollock-1613, R.7, PR65
Brown PCGS. CAC. William Barber's Sailor Head motif dominates
the obverse. Her coronet is inscribed LIBERTY. The periphery
includes IN GOD WE TRUST, the date, and 13 tiny stars. The reverse
displays an open laurel wreath with ONE / DOLLAR at the center.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM ring the border.
Struck in copper with a reeded edge. For most collectors, Judd-1463
provides the only means to obtain an example from this die pair,
since the plain edge Judd-1463a is unique, and only two examples of
the silver Judd-1462 were struck. According to www.USPatterns.com,
"about a half dozen" Judd-1463 pieces exist, although none was
present in the Lemus Collection. A deep chocolate-brown Gem with
refreshingly smooth surfaces. Housed in an older generation PCGS
holder. Population: 1 in 65 Brown, 0 finer (11/10).From The McCoy Family Collection of U.S. Patterns. (PCGS# 61784)
